Abstract

A 54-year-old female presented with a 4cm sized painless, submandibular gland area mass. Vascular lesion was suspected in computed tomography scan. Surgical excision was performed via retroauricular approach for its excellent cosmetic outcome. The vascular mass with peripheral focal calcification was clearly resected without complication such as bleeding or neural damage. Histopathological examination of the specimen revealed an arteriovenous malformation(AVM) with abnormal communications between arteries and veins without the normal intervening capillary bed. We report a successful excision of AVM in the submandibular space via retroauricular approach.
